WHAT WE DO

Dynamic Outcomes is a financial market research and forecasting service, which has specialized in providing comprehensive and consistently accurate forecasts on currency and other financial markets.

While the primary focus has been on the Rand versus major currencies, we have forecasted many other currency pairs, indices and commodities.

HOW WE DO IT

We use a combination of programs and years of knowledge and experience in order to provide you with highly accurate and dependable forecasts. Our forecasting system is based on the Elliott Wave Principle (the laws governing human nature in financial markets), together with a unique application of momentum, price ratio & proportion and time cycles analysis to give you a comprehensive and highly probable outlook for the market.

Take a look at the left hand sidebar. There you will find a category named ‘Update Account/Subscription’. In your account management area, you will see the option to ‘Add a New Credit Card’.

When you select that, a small pop-up window will occur, giving you a form to fill out with a new credit card.
Now rest assured, all traffic on our website is SSL, HTTPS secured, and your information and card details are 100% safe!

Fill out the form and select ‘Save Changes’ and the system will verify your card and then add it to the system. We will then re-run the charge on your card to ensure there is no break in access.

What if I don't find the forecasts of benefit?

In the unlikely event that this doesn't open your eyes to seeing the markets in a new light, then simply cancel your subscription. But please do so only after you have given yourself time to assess it properly. That's why we give you a 60 day money back guarantee - if you are dissatisfied for any reason, we will refund you up to 60 days of your subscription.

How do I know when there are new forecasts?

We release forecasts Bi-Weekly, on a Monday and a Thursday. We also offer a free service of sending you a reminder email each and every time forecasts are updated. This means you are kept up to date at all times, and never miss a beat in the Forex markets.

How can I trust your forecasts?

We have been forecasting the Rand and other markets with consistent accuracy for hundreds of clients, using a combination of sophisticated Elliott Wave pattern-matching technology and momentum, cycle and price ratio analysis. No forecast can be 100% accurate, but our service has given clients a consistent edge over emotional, random and gut-feel decision-making. Take a look at our many testimonials from satisfied clients. Or better still, try it yourself.

I don't understand the forecasts. Please can you help me?

Don't worry, we understand! The forecasts can be confusing at first, and signals, signs and market direction can be confusing to make sense of. But we have put it all simply into one eBook. We have received fantastic reviews as to it, so we would recommend that you read through it.

Your Questions

Target Area - This is the expected “zone” for the Rand to move into in the coming days, weeks, months or years, depending on what forecast you are looking at. It is effectively the high and low range we give you.

Outlook - Another name for one of our forecasts with the view of where the market is expected to head in that particular time frame.

High - A high is the highest price (for the Rand, its worst level/value) in the time frame mentioned e.g. it made a high of over R17.81/$ in 2016.

Low - A low is the lowest price (for the way the Rand is quoted, its best level/value) in the time frame mentioned, e.g. it made a low of R13.15/$ in 2016.

Invalidation - This is the level that the market would need to break above or below for the forecast, based on the preferred Elliott Wave count, would be invalidated for that time frame. If this happens, we will issue an update as soon as possible, with the new preferred wave count.

Close above/below invalidates - This would mean that the market would need to have a closing price for the day (short term) or week (for longer terms) above or below a specific level before it would invalidate our forecast.

Move above/below delays - The correction has extended beyond the optimum target area for a reversal, but has not yet invalidated the current wave count

The close - This is the United States close for the day, as we will often see big moves and trading after the South African one.

Bottoming (bottoming out)- This would indicate the market has been moving down in price (Rand has been strengthening), but that it is nearing the end of this downward trend, and a change of trend is imminent within that time frame.

Topping (topping out)- This would indicate the market has been moving up in price (Rand has been weakening), but that it is nearing the end of this upward trend, and a change of trend is imminent within that time frame.

Consolidate or Consolidation - This would be a period of less volatility and movement after a strong move. We will often see this after a big thrust a short space of time, that the markets would flatten out into a bit of a plateau and retrace slightly, before the trend would continue.

Retrace or Retracement - This would be a partial retracement following a strong move in one direction, before the trend continues ones more.

Rise - This would be an upward move - rising in price i.e. a weakening of the Rand against the Dollar, Euro or Pound.

Fall - This would be a downward move - falling in price i.e. a weakening of the Rand against the Dollar, Euro or Pound.

Sentiment - The general mass psychology and emotion present in those involved in the market. Google’s view is as follows: “a view of or attitude toward a situation or event; an opinion.”

Elliott Wave Principle - This is the principle/science upon which our forecasts are based. It is based on the study and analysis of patterns of human behaviour and sentiment in financial markets. We use pattern-matching, price ratios analysis and momentum studies to provide the most likely outcome for the current market.

Short Term - Short Term Forecasts would be the outlook for the next few (up to 8) trading days.

Near Term - Near Term Forecasts would be the outlook for the next few (up to 8) weeks.

Medium Term - Medium Term Forecasts would be the outlook for the next few (up to 8) months.

Long Term - Long Term Forecasts would be the outlook for the next few (up to 8) years.

Support - This is like a floor (as opposed to a ceiling,) being a critical point which is 'holding' an upward trend or that is likely to stop/hinder a downward trend. If this level is broken below, the market will generally seek out the next level of support. It is like the market has broken through the floor of a multi-storey building, and now has a new floor below supporting it, and the old floor (which was support below) is now the ceiling (resistance above). Support levels can be derived from previous highs or lows, Fibonacci ratios of previous moves as well as moving average lines.

Resistance - This is the opposite to support, being like a ceiling (as opposed to a floor) being a critical point which is 'holding' a downward trend or that is likely to stop/hinder an upward trend. If this level is broken above, the market will generally seek out the next level of resistance. It is like the market has broken through the ceiling of a multi-storey building, and it now has a new ceiling above, and the old ceiling (which was resistance above) is now the new floor (support below). Resistance levels can be derived from previous highs or lows, Fibonacci ratios of previous moves as well as moving average lines.

Trendline - This is the line joining previous highs (which will tend to contain the market on the upside as resistance) or previous lows (which will tend to contain the market on the downside as support). A break above or below a trendline often signals a sharp move further in that direction.

Channel (Support/Resistance)- These are parallel lines that are tending or will tend to contain market movement on both the lower (as channel support) and upper side (as channel resistance). A successful break above or below a channel line often signals a sharp move further in that direction.

Momentum - This is the measure of the underlying strength in the market. When the market is in the middle of a powerful upward or downward move over a period of time, it begins to gain in momentum, making it harder to stop (similar to any other moving object).

Bias - We are often monitoring two or more different different Elliott Wave counts (scenarios) at the same time, but there will generally be one of the two counts which has the 'bias'. This is the one we would find more likely to play out in the market, and that is the bias in our forecast.

Wave Count - The Elliott Wave Principle is the discovery that markets move in patterns (or waves) of mass human sentiment, and these patterns repeat themselves in smaller and larger degrees (we tend to make the same emotional decisions in similar circumstances). Just like weather patterns, which repeat themselves as they abide by the Laws of Nature, so the patterns of human activity repeat themselves as governed by the Laws of (Human) Nature. By understanding the 'wave' patterns and the laws that govern them, we find the best fit (wave count) for the current pattern, and provide an outlook as to how that pattern will play out, based on how similar patterns have played out historically.

We use a combination of pattern-matching technology, ratio analysis, momentum and market cycle studies in order to come up with the preferred Wave Count.

Bullish - Bullish is when sentiment is driving the market UP in price (as opposed to bearish). Why bull? Well, think of how a bull attacks with an upward movement of its horns (low to high), as it attempts to toss its opponent into the air.

Bearish - Bearish is when sentiment is driving the market DOWN in price (as opposed to bullish). Why bear? Well, think of how a bear attacks with a downward movement of its paw (high to low), as it attempts to strike its opponent to the ground.

Please consult your broker/advisor for trading advice. All trading involves risk. Leveraged trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk.

All forecasting is based on statistics derived from past performance and past performance of any trading methodology is no guarantee of future results.

No representation is being made that any account will achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed. There is no guarantee that, even with the best advice available, you will become a successful trader because not everyone has what it takes to be a successful trader. Any trading strategies discussed may be unsuitable for you depending upon your specific investment objectives and financial position. You must make your own currency decisions in light of your own investment/business objectives, risk profile, and circumstances. Use independent advisors as you believe necessary. Therefore, the information provided herein is not intended to be specific advice as to whether you should engage in a particular trading strategy or buy, sell, or hold any financial product.

Hypothetical Disclaimer:

All results are considered to be Hypothetical unless otherwise specified. CFTC Rule 4.41: Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under or over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. Furthermore, only risk capital should be used for leveraged trading due to the high risk of loss involved. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses (and incur account drawdowns) or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are important issues which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, method or system, which cannot be completely taken into consideration with hypothetical performance results and will affect trading results and your profit or loss.
